1.0 [ GEAR ]

There are many setups for Dagannoth Kings, the main type is a hybrid mixture of Range/Melee. I personally prefer Range/Melee but that’s my choice. The other being Mage, there are also 4 types of mage generally used when doing Dagannoth Kings (Surge, Slayer Dart, Barrage, Claws of Guthix.)

We will start with the gear setups, I have chosen to make them as cheap I see possible, as always you can swap out gear for better/your own varieties.

2.0 [ HOW TO GET THERE ]

VERY EASY

run from seers bank to relleka and go to the docks northwest

you will come across an obelisk, recharge if wanted/needed

talk to jarvald to get to the island

Route from island to entrance lair

Rest at lair and find a DP if u havent got a friend coming with u
DP = door partner

At the Lair Door Pressure Plates to Dagannoth Kings

Keep going east

3.0 [ THE KILLING ]

After this point, in a team situation the people who are maging need to descend down the ladder, praying mage, attack rex making sure not to Ice barrage him in place, whilst he has your attention you need to follow the next step of pictures/text to lure him into position. (You will need to tank supreme whilst this is going on)

Luring Rex

Go down the ladder, run as far south then run east along the south side of the island, Continue praying mage, step out and mage Rex to attract him to you, once rex has run south east towards you inform the melee/rangers to come in.

Once you have maneuvered Rex into this position, run north nut make sure to hug the east wall, you should eventually have Rex behind you and you want to end up in this position.

When Rex is dead, repeat the process, 1 person runs south (Lurer) staying quite close to the south/east walls, ensuring you don’t lure Prime/Supreme onto your team. Step out a little and wait for Rex to spawn, mage him and repeat the process of the lure.

Killing Supreme / Prime

The initial killing spot of Supreme and Prime make no difference, you will be informed by the magers when Rex has been lured, only then should you enter the dungeon. Once you are in you will need to instantly Brew/Ext Def/OVL up, and melee Supreme all the time praying mage.

Once you have killed Supreme, run north and sit as close to the north wall as possible so that when Rex is killed and he spawns, he cannot run to you and start attacking, this makes it easier for the mages to continue with there lure process.

When you have downed Supreme and Prime, run north, be sure to not run into Rex as it will jump out of its lure spot.

The following picture will show where you should be standing at all times whilst waiting for Prime to spawn, please note, if you don’t want Supreme to hit you whilst you are killing Prime DO NOT MOVE out of the location, allow Supreme to maneuver himself to you, he will auto attack you once he is close enough.

Once prime has attacked you, and he’s down, take care running out to the south praying Range, claw spec/ags/balmung/whip Supreme he usually drops in 30 seconds with 10+ people.

Run back north to the DD spot for Prime and repeat.

If Rex spawns at the same time as Supreme, quickly kill supreme, all melee players run north, having 1 lurer (leader of trip) meleeing rex, as well as the magers attacking. Rex should stick to the meleer. Run south, then wait for him to follow, hug him around the south wall following through to east and place him into the lure position for magers, just like in the mage guide above.
